Respondent: 1.83. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3,956 hours. 

The Board utilizes a variety of forms 

including domestic sales report and 

importer sales report; application for 

exemption; nomination form and ballot 

form; reimbursement of assessments and 

refund application forms; donation 

form; and recordkeeping requirements. 

The forms and information covered 

under this information collection 

require minimum information necessary 

to effectively carry out the requirements 

of the program and their use is 

necessary to fulfill the intent of the 

applicable authority. Lastly, the board is 

always looking to provide electronic 

versions of the forms for easier access 

and submission. 

Forms were updated to add a box to 

allow respondents to include both 

mailing and physical addresses, if they 

differ. This change allows Board staff to 

better record contact information for 

producers and importers. ‘‘Domestic 

Sales Report’’, ‘‘Importer Sales Report’’, 

and ‘‘Application for Exemption’’ were 

all updated to add this additional box. 

Forms requesting a fax number from 

respondents were revised to remove the 

box due to the expanded use of 

electronic mail. 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this document will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Consumer Labeling Research 

Web-based Surveys. 

OMB Number: 0583–NEW. 

Type of Request: Request for a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 

authority to exercise the functions of the 

Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as 

specified in the Federal Meat Inspection 

Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the 

Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) 

(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg 

Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 

U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

verifying that meat, poultry, and egg 

products are safe, wholesome, and 

properly labeled. 

Safe handling instructions (SHI) are 

required on the labels of raw or partially 

cooked (i.e., not considered ready to eat) 

meat and poultry products if the 

product is destined for household 

consumers or institutional uses (9 CFR 

317.2(l) and 9 CFR 381.125(b)). FSIS has 

required the SHI label for raw and 

partially cooked meat and poultry 

products since 1994 (59 FR 40209). 

In response to inquiries from 

consumer groups and other stakeholders 

about potential changes to SHI 

requirements, FSIS gathered input from 

members of academia, industry, and 

consumer stakeholders concerning the 

label in November 2013. FSIS presented 

the results of the input in the form of 

suggestions to the National Advisory 

Committee on Meat and Poultry 

Inspection (NACMPI) in January 2014. 

The NACMPI Subcommittee on Food 

Handling Labels recommended that 

FSIS pursue changes in the existing SHI 

label and conduct consumer research to 

determine the effectiveness of any 

revisions to the SHI label. 

In 2015, FSIS conducted six consumer 

focus groups (OMB No. 0583–0166; 11/ 

30/2017) to evaluate understanding of 

the current SHI label and responses to 

possible revisions. The results from the 

focus groups suggested that consumers 

would find certain revisions to the SHI 

label useful. Participants recommended 

changes to improve consumer 

comprehension and adherence to 

recommended safe handling practices 

(e.g., add recommendations to use a 

food thermometer and endpoint 

temperatures for different cuts of meat 

and poultry). Based on the results of 

these focus groups, FSIS determined 

that additional research using more 

rigorous, quantitative approaches with a 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Notices 86875 

larger sample of consumers was needed. 

FSIS also surmised this research would 

help inform potential revisions to the 

current SHI label and assess whether a 

label revision would improve consumer 

food safety behaviors. 

In 2020, FSIS completed a study that 

comprised a web-based experimental 

survey and an experimental behavior 

change study that included meal 

preparation in a test kitchen 

environment, eye tracking, and in-depth 

interviews to design and evaluate 

potential revised SHI labels (OMB No. 

0583–0177; 4/30/2022). For this study, 

FSIS created new labels based on 

recommendations from NACMPI, which 

focused on updating the existing text 

and icons in the current SHI label and 

adding information on recommended 

internal minimum temperatures for 

different cuts of meat and poultry. This 

study found that the three labels tested 

did not perform better than the current 

SHI label with regard to visual saliency 

(i.e., noticeability) and behavior change 

for the safe handling practices displayed 

on the label (e.g., using a food 

thermometer or washing hands with 

soap and water for 20 seconds and then 

drying) (final report available at https:// 

www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/ 

media_file/2022-02/SHI_Behavior_

Change_Study%20Final%20Report_9_

23_20.pdf). 

Consumer groups and other 

stakeholders have continued to advocate 

for improved labeling for raw and 

partially cooked meat and poultry 

products. In response, FSIS is pursuing 

research to create and assess consumer 

responses to new labeling not included 

in previous studies. FSIS plans to start 

with a ‘‘blank slate’’ (i.e., freely develop 

the label with no restrictions, ideas, or 

characteristics instead of simply 

revising the current SHI label). To do 

this FSIS will take into consideration 

recent research via a literature review 

and input from key stakeholders and 

experts via listening sessions. 

In December 2022 and January 2023, 

through a contractor, FSIS conducted 

listening sessions with consumer 

groups; representatives from the meat 

and poultry industry; and experts in 

health communications, food science, 

and food safety education to collect 

information on factors to consider when 

creating new labeling for raw and 

partially cooked meat and poultry 

products. Additionally, a literature 

review was conducted to identify and 

summarize best practices for label 

design for attracting attention and 

motivating behavior change and 

recommendations for label design based 

on human factors research. The findings 

from the listening sessions and 

literature review were used for the 

current study to create new labels for 

safe handling of raw and partially 

cooked meat and poultry products. 

FSIS plans to use an iterative 

approach with multiple rounds of 

consumer research to obtain feedback 

on the new label designs and make 

refinements during the study. In Phase 

1, the new label designs are being tested 

in consumer focus groups to obtain 

qualitative feedback on the labels, and 

the findings will be used to refine the 

label design and messaging. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, FSIS published a 60-day 

notice (88 FR 30713 May 12, 2023) and 

a 30-day notice requesting comments 

regarding this information collection 

request (88 FR 65359 September 22, 

2023). The Agency received no 

comments, and the information 

collection request is currently being 

reviewed by OMB. 

In Phase 2, the revised label designs 

will be tested in an exploratory web 

survey, and the quantitative findings 

from this survey will be used to revise 

and prepare the final labels for testing 

in a web-based experimental survey to 

identify the top performing labels based 

on the outcomes of interest, such as 

noticeability, changed food safety– 

related beliefs, and induced thinking 

about the risks of contracting foodborne 

illness. In Phase 3, an observation study 

will be conducted in experimental test 

kitchens to obtain empirical evidence 

on the label design that is most effective 

at encouraging consumers to follow 

recommended safe handling practices 

for raw and partially cooked meat and 

poultry products and will include the 

use of eye tracking to measure visual 

saliency for the new labels compared 

with the control, the current SHI label. 

FSIS is requesting approval for a new 

information collection to conduct Phase 

2, consumer web-based surveys. Phase 2 

is a new information collection with 

3,550 hours. FSIS plans to submit an 

additional information collection 

request for approval of Phase 3, the 

observation studies. 

FSIS has contracted with RTI 

International to conduct the Phase 2 

web-based surveys. FSIS will use the 

exploratory web survey to refine the 

labeling format, layout, design features 

(e.g., icons, colors), and messaging and 

to collect other information such as 

awareness of the current SHI and risk 

perceptions of contracting foodborne 

illness. The exploratory survey will be 

important for testing and refining the 

labels for understanding, readability, 

visual receptivity, and perceived 

effectiveness. 

The experimental survey will use a 

limited time exposure (LTE) experiment 

to measure label saliency (i.e., 

noticeability) and identify the top 

performing labels. Respondents will be 

randomly assigned to 1 of 10 conditions 

(up to 9 test labels and the current SHI 

label). A mock meat or poultry product 

bearing the assigned label will be briefly 

displayed on the screen (e.g., 20 

seconds), and respondents will be asked 

to recall whether specific text or images 

were present on the label. Using 

statistical analysis, we can determine 

the relative saliency of the labels tested. 

Additionally, we will ask a series of 

questions to measure other outcomes, 

such as whether the labels provided 

new information, induced thinking 

about the risks of contracting foodborne 

illness, and changed food safety–related 

beliefs. 

To administer the surveys, RTI will 

partner with Kantar’s Lightspeed Global 

Market Insite Panel, an opt-in panel. RTI 

will use quotas to ensure that the survey 

respondents mirror the demographics of 

the U.S. population (e.g., age, education 

level, race, ethnicity) based on the most 

recent Census data. Kantar will conduct 

a pilot for each survey, 50 respondents 

for the exploratory survey and 100 

respondents for the experimental 

survey. For the full-scale survey, Kantar 

will select samples that are sufficient to 

yield 1,000 respondents for the 

exploratory survey and 2,400 

respondents for the experimental 

survey. 

Kantar will conduct a separate set of 

cognitive interviews for the survey 

instruments for the exploratory and 

experimental surveys. Up to nine 

cognitive interviews will be conducted 

to evaluate and refine each survey 

instrument before receiving OMB 

approval. After receiving OMB 

approval, Kantar will conduct separate 

pilot studies for the exploratory and 

web-based surveys to ensure that the 

programming logic for the online survey 

is correct before the full-scale study is 

implemented. 

Estimate of Burden: For the pilot for 

the exploratory survey, it is expected 

that 1,000 panel members selected by 

Kantar will receive email invitations 

and that 50 of the eligible panel 

members will subsequently complete 

the questionnaire. For the full-scale 

study, it is expected that 20,000 panel 

members selected by Kantar will receive 

email invitations and that 1,000 of the 

eligible panel members will 

subsequently complete the 

questionnaire. The email invitations for 

the pilot and full-scale study are 

expected to take 2 minutes to read. The

86876 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 240 / Friday, December 15, 2023 / Notices 

exploratory survey is expected to take 

20 minutes to complete. 

For the pilot for the experimental 

survey, it is expected that 2,000 panel 

members selected by Kantar will receive 

email invitations and that 100 of the 

eligible panel members will 

subsequently complete the 

questionnaire. For the full-scale study, it 

is expected that 48,000 panel members 

selected by Kantar will receive email 

invitations and that 2,400 of the eligible 

panel members will subsequently 

complete the questionnaire. The email 

invitations for the pilot and the fullscale study are expected to take 2 

minutes to read. The exploratory survey 

is expected to take 20 minutes to 

complete. 

The total estimated burden of the 

web-based surveys are 3,550 hours 

(1,050.00 hours for the exploratory 

survey and 2,500 hours for the 

experimental survey).

Proposed New Recreation Fee Sites 

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture 

(USDA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Ouachita National Forest 

is proposing to establish several new 

recreation fee sites. Recreation fee 

revenues collected at the new recreation 

fee sites would be used for operation, 

maintenance, and improvement of the 

sites. An analysis of nearby recreation 

fee sites with similar amenities shows 

the recreation fees that would be 

charged at the new recreation fee sites 

are reasonable and typical of similar 

recreation fee sites in the area. 

DATES: If approved, the new fees would 

be implemented no earlier than six 

months following the publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Ouachita National Forest, 

P.O. Box 1270, Hot Springs, Arkansas 

71902. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill 

Jackson, Forest Recreation Program 

Manager, 501–321–5202 or r8_ouachita_

recreation@usda.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement 

Act (16 U.S.C. 6803(b)) directs the 

Secretary of Agriculture to publish a sixmonth advance notice in the Federal 

Register of establishment of new 

recreation fee sites. In accordance with 

Forest Service Handbook 2309.13, 

Chapter 30, the Forest Service will 

publish the proposed new recreation fee 

sites in local newspapers and other local 

publications for public comment. Most 

of the new recreation fee revenues 

would be spent where they are collected 

to enhance the visitor experience at the 

new recreation fee sites. 

An expanded amenity recreation fee 

of $100 per night would be charged for 

rental of Shady Lake Caretakers Cabin 

and an additional $10 per tent adjacent 

to the cabin. A standard amenity 

recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle 

would be charged at Little Missouri 

Falls Day Use developed recreation site. 

The America the Beautiful—the 

National Parks and Federal Recreational 

Lands Pass would be honored at these 

standard amenity recreation fee sites. A 

special recreation permit fee of $10 per 

off-highway vehicle (OHV) per day, or a 

$60 annual pass, is proposed at the Wolf 

Pen Gap OHV Trail Complex. 

Expenditures from recreation fee 

revenues collected at the new recreation 

fee sites would enhance recreation 

opportunities, improve customer 

service, and address maintenance needs. 

Once public involvement is complete, 

these new fees will be reviewed by a 

Resource Advisory Committee prior to a 

final decision and implementation. 

Reservations for the cabin could be 

made online at www.recreation.gov or 

by calling 877–444–6777. Reservations 

would cost $8.00 per reservation.
